Rudy Giuliani on 9/11: ‘I was there that day, I don’t remember seeing Hillary Clinton’

Hillary Clinton wasn’t in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001 — and Rudy Giuliani hasn’t forgotten.

Never forget?

Rudy Giuliani — who has previously praised Hillary Clinton for her work for Sept. 11 first responders — on Wednesday mocked her for supposedly having said she had been at Ground Zero the day of the attacks.

"I heard her say she was there that day. I was there that day, I don't remember seeing Hillary Clinton," the former New York mayor told a crowd in Ocala, Fla., as he introduced Donald Trump.

Clinton, a New York senator at the time, was at work in Washington on the day of the 2001 attacks, which also targeted the Pentagon. She came to the city the next day, and was photographed walking with Giuliani through the rubble on Sept. 12. She was also there with the then-mayor other days that week.

But the facts didn't stop Giuliani from continuing with his unhinged rant. "I lost so many friends on Sept. 11. I think about it every day. Don't tell me you belong to our very, very tight group of "never forget,'" he fumed. "Yes, yes, you helped to get benefits for the people who were injured that day," he allowed, adding. "I don't remember seeing" Clinton.

It's unclear what was the source of Giuliani's charge that Clinton had said she was in New York on 9/11. Her whereabouts that week have been well-chronicled.

Clinton told CNN last month that she and Sen. Chuck Schumer returned to the city from Washington on one of the few flights allowed the day after 9/11.
